Because he was close to the tree, Liu Xing stuck his head out and took a look, and found that although Otomo Xilong and others looked a little embarrassed, there was not much blood on their bodies, and only one person seemed to have injured his leg and had to limp.
Walking with a twist.
"Sure enough, Otomo Xilong and others did not suffer much loss. So many people are back alive now." Liu Xing turned around and continued: "It seems that they are planning to withdraw to the dock. I don't know if they will take the submarine directly."
Leave Tanegashima.”
As soon as Liu Xing finished speaking, he saw Shimazu Hiromichi waving to his group, so after Otomo Shitaka and others walked away, Liu Xing and others gathered together to start voting.
Although Liu Xing and others did not discuss how to vote, when Liu Xing and others realized that the man behind Tanegashima might be Hyakkijima, they decided to stay on Tanegashima for a while to conduct more in-depth investigation and research.
So Liu Xing and others chose to stay on Tanegashima.
As for Tanegashima Teruichi, he naturally made the same choice as Liu Xing and others, but Andre and other mercenaries did not make a choice at the first time, because they all set their sights on Shimazu Hiromichi.
, after all, they are all employed by the Shimadzu family, so Andre and others will obey their employer's orders until they encounter real danger.
However, according to the one-person-one-vote rule, even if Shimazu Hiromichi, Andre and others all chose to vote leave, they could not exceed the number of votes cast by Liu Xing and others. Therefore, after Shimadzu Hiromichi struggled for a moment, he still made a very honorable choice.
to stay.
However, after completing the voting, Shimazu Hiromichi said to Liu Xing and others very seriously: "Although we decided to stay and investigate for a while this time, since we found that Tanegashima has become dangerous, we cannot do it.
There are some more risky things, such as going deep into the woods and entering Tanegashima Town to find out, so it is best for us to observe on the periphery of each location and not act alone at will."
Of course Liu Xing and others would not refute Shimazu Hiromichi's suggestion. In other words, Liu Xing and others actually agreed with Shimazu Hiromichi's idea. After all, Hyakki Island is not an easy host to deal with.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing told his team's guess about Baigui Island.
After listening to Liu Xing's words, Shimazu Hiromichi showed a thoughtful expression, and then nodded and said: "What you think makes sense. Hyakki Island has never given up the idea of returning to the island country, but
All the major forces in the island country unanimously chose to refuse. After all, Hyakki Island is still quite large, and even if some of the mythical creatures do not actively harm people, their passive abilities may still affect humans in a certain area.
, so according to our previous speculation, if all members of Hyakki Island want to return to the island country, we may need to give them the Shikoku or Hokkaido areas."
"Of course, the more important thing is that whether it is our big families or the secret churches, their attitude towards ordinary people is not to disturb or interfere. Of course, those mythical creatures are beyond our control, and when unnecessary,
There is no secret church that is idle and actively harms ordinary people, so ours can be regarded as a strange symbiotic relationship; but this Hyakki Island is different. Some mythical creatures are really greedy, and here
Greedy people are greedy people in the true sense. Just like carnivores such as tigers and lions, they naturally feel that the nearby herbivores should be their food. Therefore, when Hyakki Island returns to the mainland of the island country, there may be unsolvable consequences for the island country.
The likelihood of a cold case going unsolved increases hundreds of times."
"But the most important point is that I have heard a saying before, that is, the reason why the mythical creatures on Hyakki Island joined forces with the major forces at that time to drive them away was probably because if Hyakki Island continued to
If you stay on the mainland of the island country, then Hyakki Island will become the most powerful force in the island country. Even if the remaining big families and secret churches unite closely, they may not be able to defeat Hyakki Island.
, because the mythical creatures of Hyakki Island are essentially an island nation!”
As soon as these words came out, Liu Xing and others looked at Shimazu Hiromichi in shock, because no one thought that Hyakki Island would be so powerful.
However, Liu Xing vaguely felt that he could guess why Hyakki Island is essentially an island country.
"Actually, you should also know that many of the mythical creatures on Hyakki Island are unique beings. They do not exist in one group like the ghouls and deep divers. The reason why this situation occurs is that
Let’s start with the appearance of these mythical creatures. To put it simply, these mythical creatures are essentially a kind of creation and are related to ancient gods.”
Shimazu Hiromichi took a deep breath and said very seriously: "The thing is like this, the layout of the earth in ancient times is completely different from now. To put it simply, there is only one piece of land. Later, because of the war between the ancient gods and the old rulers,
As a result, the land became fragmented, forming the seven continents and four oceans of the earth today. However, at that time, the earth did not have an island, including the largest Greenland. This is why Greenland did not become a continent.
, and the reason why it was named the largest island.”
"As for the emergence of so many islands on the earth, it is mainly related to the ancient gods, because after the ancient gods defeated the old rulers, they suffered heavy casualties for a while and were unable to deal with the endless stream of those who passed through various means.
mythical creatures that came to the earth through various channels, so they simply left the continent where there were many mythical creatures, and instead raised small islands in the sea as their shelter. Of course, some ancient gods with better relationships would
By moving their islands closer together, today's archipelagos were formed."
"The four large islands that make up the island country were raised by Amaterasu and three other unknown ancient gods. The reason why the names of the three ancient gods are not known is actually because these three ancient gods not long ago
After that, they fell. After all, not all the Old Ones were sealed at that time. Some of them were just injured and hid. They would occasionally attack the lonely ancient gods. Of course, there were also some Old Ones.
He just came from outside the earth, so many ancient gods fell during that time, and Amaterasu was seriously injured during this time and had to go to Dreamland to recuperate, so he gave the island country to himself
Two good friends - Izanami and Izanaki - live here."
"At this time, the ancient gods found that their numbers were getting smaller and smaller. If this continued, they might not be able to suppress the ancient gods. Therefore, after thinking and discussing, the ancient gods decided to spawn more ancient gods.
Gods, after all, the ancient gods are the original creatures on the earth. They are either the first wind on the earth, the first drop of water on the earth, or the aggregated consciousness of the ocean. Therefore, the earliest batch of ancient gods are very powerful.
, because they are one with the earth, and this is why the Old Ones gathered on the earth."
Hearing this, Liu Xing knew that this was the Cthulhu Run Game Hall's attempt to complete the basic settings of Cthulhu Mythology, because the master of Ai Craftsmanship made a mistake that many authors would make when writing the Cthulhu Mythology series.
The mistake is that a complete outline was not compiled in advance, so the entire series does not have a perfect explanation of why so many old rulers and mythical creatures gathered on the earth. You must know that according to the setting, let alone those old ones.
Dominators, just a group of ghouls or deep ones can rule or destroy the earth.
So it’s still a classic question that can be applied to many science fiction works - why does the earth attract so many monsters and monsters?
This is like a group of big guys who make 100 million per second. When they had nothing to do, they took a group of younger brothers to a newly established town to participate in investment and development. As a result, they were beaten up by the locals and kidnapped... This is outstanding.
An outrageous one.
Therefore, Liu Xing suddenly looked forward to how the Cthulhu Run Game Hall would bring things back together in this parallel world.
"This is actually what a Yithian told us. He said that the reason why the old rulers gathered on the earth was that their main target was those ancient gods, because these ancient gods can be considered the essence of the earth, and maybe every ten thousand
Only one planet among the planets can give birth to a certain number of ancient gods, and these ancient gods are very pure energy bodies, so as long as the rulers of the old days operate properly, they can devour these ancient gods and let their own
The strength has been greatly improved.”
Shimazu Hiromichi smiled and shook his head, and continued: "It stands to reason that the news that the earth can give birth to ancient gods will usually be exclusive to the mythical creatures who first discovered the earth and the old rulers behind them. After all, who
They are not willing to share the benefits with others, but the first group of ancients who discovered the earth were all atheists, so these ancients did not spread the news that the earth was giving birth to ancient gods. Therefore, the ancient gods on earth
It passed the most dangerous period of development. You must know that the ancient gods of other planets were basically devoured by the Old Ones during this period, because the ancient gods at this time had no power to fight back."
"If this continues, there are two possibilities for the ancient gods on the earth. The first possibility is that the ancient gods will become the guardian gods of the earth, and at the same time they will become myths like the Ancient Ones who do not believe in the old rulers.
A safe haven for biological races, and the second possibility is that the ancient gods fight and devour each other. The ancient god that survives in the end will devour the planet it is on and become the ruler of the old days! Yes, the old god
The essence of the Sun Dominator is an ancient god who swallowed the planet, and it is precisely because there is a planet that provides it with power that the Old Dominator can be immortal."
I see.
Liu Xing showed a surprised expression, but he disagreed in his heart, because this kind of speculation abounds in the forum of the Cthulhu Run Game Hall. Many players believe that the ancient gods and the old rulers are actually from the same origin.
species, but are divided into two categories due to reasons such as stance.
"In this case, if the Ancient Gods want to create more of their kind, then they must forcibly mature some beings that could not form Ancient Gods into a new Ancient God?" Zhang Jingxu analyzed.
"Yes, the first generation of ancient gods are basically the embodiment of elements such as wind, fire, thunder and lightning, and the second generation of ancient gods they created became representatives of flowers, plants, leaves, birds, fish and insects, so their strength is the same as that of the third generation of ancient gods.
There is an essential gap between a generation of ancient gods. Of course, when some first-generation ancient gods fall, they will decompose themselves into multiple new ancient gods. This type of ancient gods is what we call the first and fifth-generation ancient gods.
Among the gods, the gods of fire and water are the most common. Because fire and water can be easily divided into two, there are several gods of fire in the island country alone, but the strength of these ancient gods is not too strong.
"
"Of course, success and failure are twins. Before the final result appears, you don't know whether you will see success or failure next. Therefore, some ancient gods failed when creating new ones of the same kind. These failed creations are
They turned into mythical creatures such as Shuten Doji; yes, many of the mythical creatures on Hyakki Island were failures when the ancient gods were created, but they were taken back by the ancient gods who created them after they were determined to be failures.
Most of the power has been lost, leaving only the original core."
"As for why these failed products were not completely destroyed, the main reason is that to destroy them, their core must be destroyed, and the core here is one of the origins of the earth. If it is destroyed, it will escape, and then it will be very
They may have been absorbed by the old rulers, allowing them to escape the seal faster, so these mythical creatures were imprisoned on various islands. The most famous of them should be the Minotaur Bull, because it was used by humans
It was killed, and the original 'cow' it represented was missing."
"After the seals of the old rulers began to loosen, the ancient gods began to divide into the escape group and the last-ditch group. However, no matter what, mythical creatures like Shuten Doji lost their original control and began to fight for
It was a disaster, and it was difficult for the ancient gods to deal with them directly... It was also at this time that Shuten Doji and the others got the news from unknown sources, and began to integrate their origins with the island country. In this way, as long as they passed
Given enough time, Shuten-Douji and other mythical creatures will be deeply bound to the island nation, and both will be prosperous and harmed."
"In that case, as long as we take action against Shuten Doji, earthquakes and other natural disasters will occur in the island country?" Liu Xing asked curiously.
Shimazu Hiromichi sighed, nodded and replied: "That's right, so we just expelled the mythical creatures on Hyakki Island so that they could no longer integrate with the island country."
